hello, world. my name is ilene (aka illy). this is my blog where i like to write about life, laughter and the pursuit of real happiness. creamer with a pinch of coffee, songs played on repeat, red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting, and reading into the hours of the night top my list of favorite things. and life. i am a follower of Jesus and i love life.

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING?

Tuesday, April 27, 2010

sadly, i didn't take as many pictures as i had planned too - but i guess that shows how much fun we had. we were too busy laughing and talking to take pics. mom also cooked a filipino dinner for us (including sarah, her boyfriend, and Ryan). we even made time for some Jack Bauer (24 - woohoo!), as well as a sister-date with Ashley.

[she was one less lonely girl...when she found j-bieber's magazine.]

[shoe shopping at h&m. we ended up getting a matching pair, mine in navy blue and hers in red.but aren't her converse shoes eye-popping?!!]

[then here we are grabbing a late lunch at chipotle...mmm.]

but the time with them is not over.they drove on over to iowa to see kristine and her ryan,so they'll be back in chicago soon enough. no tears and good-byes yet.i loooove them.
